You're not alone, I like Microsoft software in general. Perhaps its generational but I've been programming since the days of the IBM green card (HCF - was my favorite op code - Halt and Catch Fire). IMHO C# seems to me the most well designed practical modern language around. So I'll stick to C# with C for getting to the metal.
